Chapter 1 Nightmare
Feng'an Defense Envoy's headquarters faces north and south, with the main buildings built along the central axis, while other buildings are symmetrically placed on both sides of the central axis. After entering the envoy's gate is the ritual gate, and behind the ritual gate is the lobby of the envoy's office (also known as Huwei Hall), which is a place where the ceremony is held to welcome and send superior officials; in front of Huwei Hall, there are four departments symmetrically distributed, with the inspector's office on the left, the Ordnance Department, and the Military Affairs Department on the right.
The Huwei Hall is also a large courtyard. In the middle, opposite to Huwei Hall is the signing room. The signing room is also called the second hall. It is slightly smaller than the Huwei Hall and is a daily office space for defense. Unlike the general arrangement of civil and military offices, the left side of the signing room is the attendant room and the houjian place, and the right side is the book office room and the tea room.
According to the rules, if an exception is required to enter the second hall, you need to report to the concierge and you can only enter the door after you get permission.
Behind the second hall is a quiet courtyard, with fragrant flowers and plants and lush green trees. The middle corresponds to the signing room is the inner study room, also known as the Third Hall. This is the inner courtyard of the back hall, which is the daily living place for the defender. It is here for meeting guests, discussing affairs, reading, changing clothes, and handling general official duties. The courtyards on the east and west sides of the inner study room are the residences of the defender, and behind the house is an inner garden covering an area of two or three acres.
The Staff Office is located in the yard behind the attendant's room on the left side of the Second Hall and the yard behind Hou Jianshou. There are more than twenty houses of all sizes. Without plaques, they can only enter and exit through two inconspicuous small doors, north and south.
At dusk that day, a team of Jinyi Guards rushed through the gatehouse under a thin man in their thirties and scarred faces. When the four guards on duty in the attendant's room heard the sound, they immediately grabbed the knife and rushed out.
"Who? Stop!" The servant leader was a mate. As soon as he shouted, Scarface had already flashed into his armpits, and he didn't move at all. Scarface had his legs tugged on the ground. He pushed his waist up and pushed upwards. The mate fell to the ground like a dead wooden stake. He was pressed to the ground by the two men in brocade clothes who rushed up later and could not get up. His three subordinates were also subdued by the people.
Scarface obviously did not want to get entangled with the four people. He left four people to guard and guard, while the rest followed him along the small door north of the attendant's room and rushed into the Staff Office. The Staff Office was deserted and the doors were locked. Only one old servant was cleaning the fallen leaves under the locust tree. Seeing Scarface breaking in with great momentum, the old servant stopped and looked at everyone in surprise, but there was no sign of fear.
"Old man, where have they all gone?" a young man beside Scarface shouted.
"It's already the end of Shen Shi. You guys are going home to rest."
"Stop fucking nonsense, where are the people on duty?" The young man waved the sharp knife in his hand to intimidate the old servant.
"I really don't know where they are. If you don't believe me, you will search one by one."
"Don't talk to him, break the door! Search!" Scarface gave the order. There was a random sound of "cracking around", and more than 20 doors were kicked open. No one was found, nor did he find any secret doors.
"Report to Mr. Zeng quickly." Scarface said and walked out.
"Are you going to report like this?" the young man asked hesitantly.
"Then you catch the person!" Scarface roared at the young man. His thin face looked ghostly because of the scar. The young man was speechless and silently lowered his head.

Although he was constrained by Yang Hao everywhere, Zhang Huchen was undoubtedly the second-ranked figure in Fengzhou with his identity as a seventh-rank halberd and the title of Feng'an governor. At least in Fengzhou, no one dared to be rude in front of him.
In Fengzhou in October, it was already very cold at night. Zhang Huchen changed his habit of wearing clothes and horses every night when he first came. When it was dusk these days, he ordered people to close the gate of the governor's mansion, not only because it was cold, but also because of the new secretary named Mingling who came to the governor's mansion.
That was a beauty from the famous Baihua Palace in Guanzhong! Zhang Huchen, who is nearly twenty years old, suddenly seemed to be twenty years younger because of the arrival of this little woman, and was full of energy. He admired Yang Hao now. After all, young people are smart and lustful. They are lustful and have a high level of lust. Bookkeeping? Haha, what a good cover! Even in broad daylight, they can wear this open coat and go in and out of your study at will, and do all the dirty things in secret, and others can't say anything.
But Zhang Huchen is old after all. Although he felt that the little girl had already hooked up his soul when he saw Ming Ling at first sight, he still had to pretend to be hypocritical. In front of everyone, he refused to even say something to Ming Ling. Fortunately, there are people who flatter and flatter everywhere in the world. The officials of the governor's mansion had already seen through his thoughts. Without him having to worry about it, Ming Ling climbed onto his bed.
"My elder is really not old." Ming Linghan crawled out of the quilt with relish and praised her with a thumbs up. She kept gasping for breath, looking satisfied.
Zhang Huchen was satisfied with knowing that her expression was only three points, but she was really satisfied. "Huh--" Zhang Huchen breathed out a breath of turbid air, his body was sore and numb. He wanted to move his already stiff arm, but Ming Ling pulled it as his pillow.
Zhang Huchen didn't want to sweep her pleasure, so he gritted his teeth and endured it. Naturally, this could not be hidden from Ming Ling. She pushed Zhang Huchen's arm away, pressed her sideways into Zhang Huchen's arms, and played with his beard mischievously.
"Oh, they are all from her grandfather generation. Am I not doing anything?" After the passion, a sense of uneasiness arose. Ming Ling was only sixteen years old, and she was younger than Zhang Huchen's two granddaughters. Zhang Huchen stroked Ming Ling's smooth and smooth back with his hands. He tried to beat her up and leave several times, but he couldn't bear to leave her fragrant and soft body.
"Oh, it's good to be young." Zhang Huchen stroked Ming Ling's two unformed breasts, but the guilt in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Ling'er..." Zhang Huchen finally made up his mind to drive her away, but before the second half of his words could be said, the door opened with a "bang" and a group of big men in brocade clothes broke in with torches.
"Ah!" Ming Ling screamed and threw herself into Zhang Huchen's arms.
"Who are you?" Although Zhang Huchen was also full of heart, he had been in the officialdom for decades, so he still had this determination.
A strong black man walked to the bed with a torch, looked at Zhang Huchen in the firelight and glanced at Ming Ling who was hiding in his arms, and said, "Don't be afraid, you are your own person." While speaking, he patted a bronze plaque hanging around his waist: "Please go with Bei Yi."
"I'll go when I finish my clothes." Zhang Huchen was no longer as nervous as before when he spoke. He pulled the quilt and wrapped the naked Ming Ling. Ming Ling poked out two green jade arms and pulled Zhang Huchen and asked, "Who are they? I'm so scared, don't leave me alone."
"Don't worry, they won't harm you." Zhang Huchen put on casual clothes and threw Ming Ling's clothes on the bed: "Put it on clothes and go back and stay, don't run around, I will go to find you if the matter is over."
Zhang Huchen tidied up his clothes and opened the door and walked into the yard. The strong black man bowed and said, "The special envoy is waiting in the study. Please follow me." Zhang Huchen nodded and raised his feet and was about to leave, but suddenly he heard a "bang" sound. Two men in brocade clothes kicked the door and broke into the room. Ming Ling's screams came immediately in the dark...

Linzhou is a small city. Recently, the bandits have not yet been resolved. Every day, the three city gates in the east and north of Shenshi will be closed, leaving only one city gate to the south for traveling. By the end of Shenshi, the south gate will also be closed. After that, there will be no documents signed by the governor's office and the Gengjian. No one is allowed to enter or exit again until dawn the next day.
At three o'clock this day, the gatekeepers were about to close the city gate. A group of horse bandits suddenly rushed to grab the gate like a storm. The gatekeepers hurriedly shouted: "The horse bandits are here! Hit the gong to call the police!"
For a moment, gongs were ringing at the top of Linzhou City, and the people in the whole city were panicked. Outside the city, hundreds of horse bandits gathered at the city and pulled out the siege. In history, Linzhou was broken several times by horse bandits, and every time the wealth in the city was broken, the sudden appearance of the horse bandits made the defenders extremely nervous. "Let the wolf smoke quickly, let the wolf smoke quickly!" The guards ordered the wolf smoke to be lit before they could report to the governor.
Six miles north of Linzhou, there is a military camp called Jinniu Village. There are 300 horse troops stationed in it, forming a horn with Linzhou City. The defenders ignited wolf smoke as a warning signal to the military camp. The wolf smoke was like a military order. When the smoke rose, the captain of Jinniu Village led the troops to lead the troops to reinforce.
Soldiers are tricks. Leading troops to fight is not a job that people who stick to the rules should do.
The wolf smoke rose into the air at the head of Linzhou City. Lance, the leader of Jinniu Village, hurriedly led his army to fight, leaving only more than 30 people to defend the camp. Jinniu Village is surrounded by trenches that are more than one person deep and two wide. Inside the trenches are stone walls, which are also easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But for Park Eun-jun's Flying Tiger Camp, this line of defense is not worth mentioning at all. Lance and just led their troops out of the camp, and Park Eun-jun captured Jinniu Village with lightning speed. The soldiers who broke the camp immediately opened the Yijiakuan. After about a cup of tea, at least two teams of soldiers in the Feihu Camp replaced the number of Linzhou defenders.
The soldiers who were not dressed up were hiding in the camp. Everyone looked nervous, as if they were waiting anxiously for someone.
Under the city of Linzhou, Li Changlin was leading two posts of the Bolang Camp to feint attack Linzhou City. His soldiers were wearing casual clothes at this moment and used a variety of weapons. Originally, all the weapons of the Ghost Army were varied, which did not affect their combat effectiveness at all.
Half an hour ago, a team of soldiers from the Polang Camp dressed as horse bandits suddenly appeared outside the south gate of Linzhou, forcing the defenders to set off wolf smoke and summon the Jinniu Village to rush for assistance. Lance He's reinforcements were defeated by Li Changlin's ambush in the east of the city. Lance He entered the city from the east gate in a hurry and never dared to come out again.
Li Changlin led his troops to attack for a while, and learned that Park Eun-jun had captured Jinniu Village as promised, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops. The people retreated, but did not leave. Instead, they set up camp outside the city to siege the city.
At dusk, the other three sentries of the Polang Camp and the two sentries of the Flying Tiger Army continued to drive to the city. When it was dark, there were fires in the camp outside the city, and the scoundrel of Linzhou was wearing armor and guarding the city to supervise the battle.
